OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!

My claim: “The Christian God does not exist as an absolute; rather he exists as a dogmatic subjective concept created by humankind.”

My Proof:

1)If the Christian God exists, he is perfect.
2)If the Christian God exists, he gave earthly beings free will.
3)Perfection refers to the complete absence of flaws, defects, or shortcomings.
4)Therefore if (the Christian) God exists, he is without flaws, defects, or shortcomings.
5)I am free to think and act as I please.
6)(The Christian) God does not comply with what I desire God to be.
7)Therefore, if (the Christian) God were to exist, he has at least one shortcoming.
8)Thus (the Christian) God is not perfect.
9)The Christian God does not exist.

Premise number 1 is true by the very definition of God in Christianity. Christians, by the tenets of their religion, see their God as omniscious, omnipresent, omnipotent, and PERFECT.

Premise number 2 is correct by the tenets of Christianity. Christians believe that God gave humankind free will.

Premise number 3 is correct by the definition of perfection. The concept of perfection was defined by man as something without flaw, defect, or shortcoming.

Premise number 4 is correct following premises 1 and 3.

Premise number 5 is correct by premise 2. If premise number 5 is incorrect, it follows that premise number 2 must be incorrect as well. If premise 2 is found incorrect, either God does not exist, or the Christian Doctrine is wrong entirely.

Premise number 6 is correct because that is my own personal opinion being presented as such. I am able to have this opinion because of premise 5. It better suits me if (the Christian) God does not exist. I feel that God is not perfect because no entity that is perfect would ever require others bow down to it. I feel that any entity that would willingly condemn another to eternal torture (Christianity’s “Hell”) is not worthy of reverence. If the Christian God were to exist, I would be condemned to Hell merely for writing this blog; thus I would be better suited if (the Christian) God did not exist. Therefore, to me, (the Christian) God has a shortcoming.

Premise number 7 is true by the statements of premise 6.

Premise number 8 is true by the statements of premises 3, 4, and 7.

The conclusion, line 9, is proven true by the statements of premises 1 and 8.
